1. An established company, so there’s little risk of it going under.
2. The colleagues are very nice.
3. There’s a company shuttle you can take.
1. The work I ended up doing after joining was different from what was described during the interview, and the pay was also very low. Even though I completed all my tasks—and worked overtime when they weren’t finished—I was still criticized for not being qualified to earn that salary and for leaving too early to catch the company shuttle.
2. The bureaucratic culture is very strong. You have to be extremely cautious when submitting documents and dealing with supervisors. Once, a vendor brought gifts and said they had already given one to the supervisor, so I assumed the supervisor had received theirs. I distributed the gift the vendor gave me among my colleagues without giving it to the supervisor first. I acknowledge that I failed to follow workplace ethics, and I apologized at the time. However, after thinking about it, the supervisor became increasingly angry. After walking out, they stormed back in and immediately berated me, saying that someone like me would not be able to survive at any other company for failing to give it to the supervisor first.
3. The immediate supervisor has a very subjective, intuition-driven approach to work requirements. After I revised something at the supervisor’s request, the senior supervisor was dissatisfied, but the immediate supervisor completely denied having asked for it and pushed the blame onto the subordinate, claiming it was something I had come up with myself.
4. It really depends on the department here. Having an emotional supervisor is a complete nightmare. Is it really so difficult to communicate properly? Do they have to get physical? They would jab a finger repeatedly into my shoulder, or wave an A4 sheet of paper in my face.
5. At first, they would not say they were dissatisfied with the copy proposed by a subordinate, only pointing out what had not been done well. After we continued working on it, they then said they did not want it. When asked at the beginning whether it was acceptable, they would not say either. This resulted in us doing pointless work every day.
